Pickle Tag (15 mins)

To start of you will need to create three or four squares as safe zones.

Have two players start of as the defenders, in the diagram these players are blue. In your session have them hold a pinnie or a cone.

To start the game the coach shouts "Go". The players have to leave their safe zone and try to get to another without being tagged by the defenders. If they get tagged the defender must drop the cone or pinnie in their hand and quickly get to one of the safe zones. The person who was tagged now assumes the role of the tagger.

Pickle Tag with Ball (20 mins)

Same game as original Pickle tag but now he players have to dribble with a soccer ball from their safe zone and try to get to another without the defender touching their soccer ball. If their soccer ball gets touched the tagger must drop the cone or pinnie, get the soccer ball and dribble the soccer ball into one of the safe zones. The person who lost their soccer ball must pick up the pinnie/cone and takes on the role of the defender.

•Can we dribble with the correct part of our foot?

•If a defender is coming can we change direction quickly?

•If defender is not near can we take big touches to get into safe zone quickly

1v1 to two goals (20 mins)

Divide your field down the middle as shown and move your goals over. Split your players into two teams and have half of the line up at the centre cone (yellow cone) and the other half line up on the centre of the touchline. You should also create a shooting zone (about 5 yards) from Each goal.

The blue defenders pass the ball across to the red attackers. Players can score in either goal but have to enter the shooting zone before scoring. If the defender wins the ball the defender can score in either goal also.

Have the players start as soon as the ball goes out of bounds or is scored.

If coaching at the younger age group the coach may want to pass the ball across so ensure accuracy and keep the activity moving along.

Can the attackers take a 'positive first touch' towards one of the goals?

If the defender 'seals off a goal' can the attacker change direction and attack the open goal?

Can the defender move across to take some of the attackers space qwhile the ball is moving?

If you have many players you can play the same game on the other side of the field simultaneously.
